Women who transgress societal norms are often punished in crime narratives from "summary" of Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives by Shampa Roy
The portrayal of women in crime narratives is often shaped by societal norms and expectations. In Bangla crime narratives, women who deviate from these norms are frequently met with punishment. This punishment serves as a warning to other women, reinforcing the idea that stepping outside the boundaries of acceptable behavior will not be tolerated. These societal norms dictate how women should behave, dress, and interact with others. Women who challenge these norms by asserting their independence, speaking out against injustice, or engaging in behavior deemed inappropriate are often labeled as deviant and immoral. This labeling sets the stage for their eventual punishment within the narrative. The punishment of women who transgress societal norms in crime narratives serves a dual purpose. On one hand, it reinforces the status quo by demonstrating the consequences of challenging traditional gender roles. On the other hand, it provides a sense of catharsis for the audience, who may feel a sense of satisfaction in seeing these women receive their comeuppance. The themes of punishment and retribution in Bangla crime narratives reflect larger societal attitudes towards women who dare to defy expectations. By punishing these women within the confines of the narrative, authors reinforce the idea that deviation from societal norms will not go unpunished. This narrative device serves as a cautionary tale, warning women against straying from the path set out for them by society.- The concept of women who transgress societal norms being punished in crime narratives is deeply rooted in cultural beliefs and expectations surrounding gender roles. By exploring this concept in Bangla crime narratives, we gain insight into the ways in which women are expected to conform to societal norms and the consequences they face when they do not.
